CHARITIES WE LOVE

May 16, 2016

True personal fulfillment only comes when helping others. Sometimes, we forget to be thankful for all the privileges we’re lucky enough to have. However, with this post we’d like to remind our readers that with that privilege comes an immense responsibility to give back to those who need it the most, which is precisely what we do through our support for the El Buen Coser cooperative in Petare, Venezuela.

Furthermore, we have a special concern for the millions of kids around the world that are suffering of hunger, thirst and even lack of education, which is why we admire these organizations:

“Save the Children” - an NGO that promotes children's rights, provides relief and helps support children in developing countries.

“My Stuff Bags Foundation”- an organization that targets a very specific public: those kids that have been victims of abuse, neglect or abandonment and therefore end up homeless. “My Stuff Bags” provides these unfortunate children with new belongings, so-called “stuff”.

“Make-A-Wish Foundation”- their motto says it all: We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

El Buen Coser, the cooperative of Petare – located in Caracas, Venezuela – is one of the largest slums in Latin America. Petare was formed on the steep hills overlooking Eastern Caracas and is ridden with violence and poverty. Childrenchic sees El Buen Coser, especially the women of that area, as a source of true inspiration.
